The last half term!

I can't believe it is the last half term in Reception and we are finishing with a very exciting topic all about 'Animals'.

In Reception we have been thinking about all the things we know about animals and also what we would like to learn about animals.

So here is our list about what we want to learn in the next few weeks about animals.....

What are the 2 bumps on top of a giraffes head called?

Do gorillas eat stingy nettles?

Are lions the king of the jungle?

What is a baby horse called?

How do baby calves come out of their mum's tummys?

Where did the first cat come from?

Why do zebras have stripes?

What do elephants, turtles, gorillas, monkeys and tigers eat?

What do monkeys and giraffes drink?

Why do baboons thump their chest?

We thought we might be able to find out the answers on our trip to the zoo. If not we could use information books and the internet.

But Jacob had a great idea and thought if we put our questions on the blog, people who might know could leave the answers on our blog for us!

So if you do the answers please leave us a comment.

And you can have a look at our zoo photos on our trip page.

A big thank you

Dear Reception,

I just wanted to write to let you know that you have all helped me to save Storyland!

I must say a huge thank you for all your great reading as it has meant that Storyland is no longer in danger of disappearing.

The more books you continue to read will help me and the other Story characters to live happily ever after in Storyland.

I am not sure that I will have time to pop in to your school again as I am busy helping to build houses for Little Red Riding Hood and Peter Pan.

Thank you all again and who knows we may meet again in the future.

Keep on reading!

Love

Denzy the friendly dragon xx
